I can offer two quick thoughts, and Mr. Jensen may add to them.
One thought is that there is a national role for coordinating the response. In the 1990s, there was a conscious decision by provincial governments that we could save money by reducing the number of health professionals and spots for training. The idea was that, if we're going to have free health services, at least you restrict the number of billing numbers, restrict the number of entry points. It's a little like controlling an open bar by reducing the number of bartenders to slow things down.
We don't have a recruitment problem; we have a training problem because, if there were recruitment, there'd be a jurisdiction with too many. The national government needs a national training standard and a strategy about where we train.
One other thing is that I would echo is the call that one of the other witnesses made for the federal government. Part of the problem—I don't want to pathologize it—is that it isn't always a mental health issue, but sometimes about needing to be left alone.
I'd love to talk about algorithmic reform on social media and mandatory disclosure of algorithms that steer people towards more extremist content.
